HOLLYWOOD - Lindsay Lohan's attorney has admitted the ankle bracelet that monitors her alcohol intake failed after the actress was arrested for DUI on Tuesday.
The Mean Girls star was also arrested for possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custodial facility and driving on a suspended license, despite wearing an alcohol-detecting ankle bracelet that is designed to monitor her drinking.
Lohan's attorney Blair Berk admitted, in a statement issued to TMZ, that the tag was a failure.
The statement read: "Addiction is a terrible and vicious disease.
"Since Lindsay transitioned to outpatient care, she has been monitored on a scram bracelet and tested daily in order to support her sobriety. Throughout this period, I have received timely and accurate reports from the testing companies.
"Unfortunately, late yesterday I was informed that Lindsay had relapsed. The bracelet has now been removed. She is safe, out of custody and presently receiving medical care."
Meanwhile, the company that issued Lohan with the scram bracelet told TMZ, "I didn't even know she was arrested."
Lohan's Father Halts Custody Battle to Help Lindsay
Lindsay Lohan's father has called off his custody battle with his estranged wife--to concentrate on saving his daughter's life.
Michael Lohan, who was recently released from a two-year prison sentence, feels partly to blame for his 21-year-old's drug and alcohol problems--and he was stunned by news that his actress daughter was arrested on drunk driving and cocaine possession charges Tuesday morning.
Now, all Michael Lohan wants to do is help his desperate daughter: "I want to withdraw everything--court wise--sit down with (estranged wife) Dina, as Lindsay's parents, and figure out how to help her.
"Lindsay can't do this on her own... When we were together, none of this was happening."
Lohan fears his public feud with his estranged wife is partly to blame for his daughter's problems.
A judge ordered Michael and Dina to see a family therapist as part of an ongoing custody war over their two young children, Ali and Dakota. The couple was also ordered to stop speaking negatively of each other in front of their kids and undergo counseling at a hearing on Monday.
